The imap-log should look like that.  And since you got passed the
first CAPABILITY exchange, I doubt this is the problem, but it is
possible.  OTOH, I have never heard of anyone successfully using
starttls under cygwin, so I'm betting on a b0rken starttls binary.
Does it work if you use it manually if you follow the instructions
above?
